Frontline Bolt
Zurgo's Vanguard is a compact, aggressive threat from Tarkir Dragonstorm that rewards a board state built around creatures. The foil Near Mint printing shows crisp art of a Dog Soldier mounted on a hulking beast, the banner and glaive ready as it leads a charge. In play the card behaves like a dynamic clock because its power scales with how many creatures you control while its Mobilize ability continually spawns tapped attacking Warriors to pressure opponents and trade efficiently.
Play Zurgo's Vanguard when you want a creature that both grows and generates tempo. It fits well in decks that can populate the battlefield with tokens or creature tokens from other spells, and it trades favorably in wide red strategies where every attack can convert into additional attackers. If you build around token synergies or anthem effects the Vanguard becomes a reliable source of incremental advantage and a straightforward way to convert board presence into damage.
